FAQs

What type of leather are these loafers made from?

These loafers are made from brushed leather, known for its refined texture and premium feel.

How should I clean the screen-printed logo?

Clean the logo gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing too vigorously or using any liquids, as this may damage the print.

Can these loafers be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, it is best to avoid wearing fine leather shoes in heavy rain. Consider using a leather waterproofing spray for light protection.

What is the heel height of these loafers?

The heel height is approximately 27 mm.

Are these loafers suitable for wide feet?

The fit can vary, but generally, loafers tend to be a more structured fit. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or refer to sizing guides carefully.

What occasions are these loafers best suited for?

These loafers are ideal for formal business settings, smart-casual events, and other occasions where a sophisticated look is desired.

How often should I condition the leather?

Condition the leather every few months, or when it starts to feel dry. The frequency depends on your climate and how often you wear the shoes.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and allow it to absorb. Repeat if necessary, but avoid over-conditioning.

Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather

Use a matching color shoe polish or cream. Apply a thin layer with a soft cloth, let it dry, and then buff gently with a clean cloth.

Slightly tight fit upon initial wear

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain shape and gently stretch.

Sole becoming detached or worn

Consult a professional cobbler for repair. They can re-glue or replace the sole, extending the life of the loafers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These loafers require no specific setup, as they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with most smart or formal attire. To maintain their pristine condition:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Conditioning: Use a good quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth.
  • Storage: Store the loafers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bag to protect them from dust and scratches. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat.
  • Protection: Consider using a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather to offer protection against light rain and stains.
